Here is Vitalik's message about burning 80% of his supply of SHIBA

"I've decided to burn 90% of the remaining shiba tokens in my wallet. The remaining 10% will be sent to a (not yet decided) charity with similar values to cryptorelief (preventing large-scale loss of life) but with a more long-term orientation. Covid is a big problem now, but it's important to think about the longer term future too!

​

Simply holding the remaining coins in the 0xab58 wallet forever was never an option; for security reasons alone they would have to be moved to a better wallet eventually, and any transaction I make would get interpreted as an action. So... may as well just do the useful thing immediately.

​

I've actually been impressed by how the dog token communities have treated the recent donations! Plenty of dog people have shown their generosity and their willingness to not just focus on their own profits but also be interested in making the world as a whole better. I support all who are earnestly doing that.

​

But for anyone making coins (or daos, or whatever else) in the future, PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME COINS OR POWER IN YOUR PROJECT WITHOUT MY CONSENT! I don't *want* to be a locus of power of that kind. Better to just print the coins into the hands of a worthy charity directly (though do talk to them first)."

P.S. Have fun with your coins guys, I'm not judging anyone here. Please just remember that meme coins are great, but the crypto revolution is more than that. Also, trade responsibly. (And don't smoke). And if you donate to charities, it's great ! Also, fight the power ! Peace !
